The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $117k → $125k.

10 of 30 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 45% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

Left out of every figure on this page: $3.2M from 13 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Board of Jewish Education Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money RELIGIOUS ZIONIST YOUTH MOVEMENT BNEI AKIVA OF THE US AND CANADA INC raised.

From the IRS filings of RELIGIOUS ZIONIST YOUTH MOVEMENT BNEI AKIVA OF THE US AND CANADA INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

How concentrated its funding is

RELIGIOUS ZIONIST YOUTH MOVEMENT BNEI AKIVA OF THE US AND CANADA INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 21% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left

80% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund RELIGIOUS ZIONIST YOUTH MOVEMENT BNEI AKIVA OF THE US AND CANADA INC.
